Ohai,
I was looking a chef-shell to do some interactive debugging. I’m using
chef-zero provisioner in Vagrant.
It looks like chef-shell has a -z option, but that is not chef-zero, just
chef-client mode. So I tried installing chef-zero gem on the machine and
setting the chef_server_url “http://localhost:8889”, to no avail. Always
get a 404 when setting chef-zero --file-store.
I then tried to just use solo mode, but it’s not picking up any of the
cookbook settings from solo.rb or the run_list from dna.json
[vagrant@app-vagrant vagrant-chef]$ sudo chef-shell --solo -c
/tmp/vagrant-chef/solo.rb -j /tmp/vagrant-chef/dna.json loading
configuration: /tmp/vagrant-chef/solo.rb
Session type: solo
Loading…done.
This is the chef-shell.
Chef Version: 12.3.0

run help' for help,exit’ or ^D to quit.

Thoughts on how to get this up and running? Blogposts about this
are fairly dated.

chef-client -z internally uses chef-zero. it is intended to replace
chef-solo and add search ability even in solo mode.
unfortunately chef-shell uses -z for client session.
i use chef-client -z aka the new chef-solo extensively, as well as a
chef-zero + chef-client .
Can you try spin up chef-zero -d , and then chef-shell -z -c
/path/to/knife.rb which reflects the chef-zero configs?

Hi Eric,
You need to start chef-zero separately. chef-shell doesn't spawn any
chef-zero processes.
E.g., in "terminal window 1":
% chef-zero
Starting Chef Zero (v4.2.1)...
WEBrick (v1.3.1) on Rack (v1.6.1) is listening at http://127.0.0.1:8889
Press CTRL+C to stop
Then in "terminal window 2":
% chef-shell -z -S http://localhost:8889
I'm not familiar with the 'zero --file-store option, though.
